That's a long drive to Yerksher and back!

I think the one you're looking at is the 105-MO on eBay, yes? That's got a differential upper feed, which is used in puckering the toes of boat shoes. Apparently you can set the upper feed to match the lower feed but I've never tried. Maybe @Constabulary or @Uwe knows?

It's the 105-8 I was looking it up when you replied

If, If,  it suits your needs, go for it. What is a drive to get what you require? Decent roads, plenty of rest places, a tankful of motion-lotion. . . . 

In my reckoning; If I can drive there and back inside 24 hours, then its 'local',     thus all of the island of Hibernia and most of Scotland is 'local' to me

Just looked it up. Basically the same as a CB3500/GA5 (non-R) or Singer 45K21. Cylinder bed, drop-feed-only, no reverse. Speed limit 800SPM. No cup holder.

Is it what need or should i wait for something more suitable?
